This is incredibly specific, but I’d love a science fiction novel or novella that explores AI in a way that feels like Catherine Weaver from The Sarah Connor Chronicles. #mswl

BOOK CLUB FICTIONNNNN ALWAYS! TRUE CRIME NONFIC YES PLEASE! All of the things.

Have you written a WHITE LOTUS comp or THE NEST? Then pls send to me!

Mindbending horrors that are mentally scary! Or do you have a comedic horror? I'm here for it!

More generically, I am always looking for psychological and domestic thrillers that make my heart pump and beads of sweat break out on my forehead.

#MSWL THEY HATED EACH OTHER SO MUCHSJSOSBSJSJ

13 - Characters who are three steps ahead on a plan going wrong in five different ways. Picturing SIX OF CROWS meets the DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS movie (okay, maybe we just like heists).

12 - Anything set in a magical house/bookshop/library/artisan’s shop. Give me alchemy and potions, arcanery and mystical knick-knacks.

11 - Actual enemies to lovers. None of this rivals to lovers where they barely had a misunderstanding one time. Villain as the love interest also works.

10 - Horror and dark fantasy – don’t be afraid to let it get weird. Thinking mushrooms growing out of reanimated rabbits à la T. Kingfisher. Aiming for the more atmospheric side of things than all-out gore.

9 - Fantasy with a main character dysfunctional enough to need therapy (looking at you, Harrow).

8 - Couples (or throuples) ready to take a stand and burn down the world for each other. Bonus if they’re queer!

7 - AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER. If your book feels like Zuko/Katara fan fic, Daphne will love it. I’m more of an Uncle Iroh guy myself.

6 - Books featuring disabled or chronically ill characters written by disabled or chronically ill authors.

5 - Fantasy romance spicy enough to make me blush in public. Think Kimberly Lemming, Scarlett St. Clair or Elise Kova.

4 - Queer fantasy, queer SF, queer dark academia, queer Gothic, queer roadtrips, queer retellings, queer… you get the gist.

3 - Non-Western epic fantasy like THE JASMINE THRONE and THE FINAL STRIFE. We’re looking for authenticity, a strong voice, and something that feels fresh.

2 - Speaking of Ghibli... Cosy fantasy! From HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE (film or book) to LEGENDS & LATTES and the MONK AND ROBOT series, we’re here for chill, low-stakes, slice-of-life adventures.
